Adding Origin Section (Section I am responsible for in the group)

- While the origin of grading contracts is unclear, It began to gain traction in the early 1970's as University's conducted research on alternative grading systems for classrooms. Both the University of Ohio and University of Florida conducted some of the earliest recorded published research on this topic. These early inquiries into contract grading were developed to find out whether or not contract grading increased performance and to evaluate the students thoughts and perception of the new grading system.

  • What needs to get done to improve your page?
    • Introduction paragraph. This is what turns up when you google Grading contract
